What are the temporary finger-like extensions of the cell surface used by Amoeba to take in food called?
Pseudopodia
Amoeba is a single-celled organism that constantly changes its shape to move and capture food.
It pushes out temporary finger-like extensions of its cell surface known as pseudopodia (meaning 'false feet').
These pseudopodia surround and engulf food particles, taking them into the cell by the process of phagocytosis.
Flagella and cilia are hair-like locomotory structures, while vacuoles are internal fluid-filled sacs, not surface projections used to capture food.
